Fictional books based in Brisbane
Zigzag Street by Nick Earls (fictional) - Would recommend to a 15+ audience.

(following is jacket blurb from Zigzag Street.)

Richard Derrington is twenty-eight and single. More single than he'd like to be. More single than he'd expected to be, and not coping well. Since Anna trashed him six months ago he's been trying to find his way again. He's doing his job badly, playing tennis badly, stalled at the start of renovating and wondering when things are going to change.

Zigzag Street covers six weeks of Richard's life in the house his grandparents built at Brisbane's Red Hill. Six weeks of rumination, chaos, poor judgement, interpersonal clumsiness and, eventually, hope, as he stumbles from one incident to another.

Richard's trying to be a nineties man, longing to be desirable, searching for calm, but things are only getting more out of control. Zigzag Street is his story.

----------

He Died With a Felafel In His Hand by John Birmingham (fictional) is about a young guy and his experiences of share-house living in Brisbane.

John Birmingham has lived with eighty-nine people and kept notes on all of them. This is their story. (from the official website)

There is a film called 'He Died With A Felafel In His Hand'. It is very loosely based on the book, and condenses a lot of the share-houses in to 3 main ones.

Tasmanian Babes Fiasco is the sequel to He Died With A Felafel In His Hand.
